Several years ago, we were thrilled to supply these custom bifolding LaCantina Doors to a homeowner remodeling their drool-worthy River North loft. Located just off the main hallway of the unit’s second level, the small office/den space was originally outfitted with a Shoji-style wooden sliding door to separate the room from the walkway. The new owners, seeking a more modern look, replaced this system with a bifolding door that can be collapsed against the wall on one side of the room for a seamless, airy connection to the unit’s public space.
But, not wanting to totally eliminate the area’s ability to function as a small bedroom, the folding doors were outfitted with white laminated privacy glass. When closed, passerby can easily mistake the sleek panels for a fixed wall — you’d almost never know there was another room hidden behind it!
